SENATOR EISiIS.
On the Vacant United States Supre e
Court Judsship.-Chanccs of
Louisiana Man

"Whai are Lonisiinnn's chances for
the Supreme judgcshir, made vacant
by Justice Woods death ~ asked the
Times Democrat reporter OF Senator
Eustis.
'hOuisiana has very strong claim
for the position, the senator replied.
"Her claims are, Of course, not
strengthened 10y the multiplicity OF
aspirants. This will cause some
trouble to the president, bu: there can
be no doubt the fight for il Louisianian
would be much strengt hrned If there
was only one aspirant from this State
and all could centre upon him.
II know that Mr. Cleveland is de-
termined to choose Il Southern man
and Democrat. This he has st,teu
several times. He has also slated that
he would like, il possible, 10 select a
gentleman from the same circuit of the
late Justice Woods. the fith circuit.
He considers this appointment one of
the most important he will have to
make during his administrations, and
there is no doubt he wilt thoroughly
inquire into TIE qualifications of every
one presented for the appointment,
and will make Il selection tina; will re-
fleet credit on his administration.
"Thc friends of those pressed from
other States arc working very actively,
but it WAS understood in Washington
that the president wit not make the
appointment until the fall. This is
further indicated by the assignment of
Judge Harlan TO this circuit, which
removes the necessity for Al immc-
diate appointment.
~ don't think personal or political
influence will control the president
with regard 10 filling this vacancy on
the supreme bench. The president
will be guided exclusively by tho con
sideration OF fitness and qualifications
for the high office.
"The point is made against the APP
pointment of any one from Louisiana
on the ground that the circuit Judge
of this circuit {Partlre) was appointed
from this State, but do not think this
circumstance will have the slightest
weight.
81 shall do everything in my power

uey General Garland on the subject,

4 NEW LEGAL WORD,

An interesting opinion was handed
down by Judge Barclay yesterday il
the damage Case of O'Conuell against
the Cab Railroad Company. The jury
gave damages in the sum of 800, and
the plaintiff applied for a new trial on
the ground Of inadequacy. The undis.
puted evidence was TIA, the injuries
consisted of IA badly fractured leg,
owing to which he was unable to per-
form any labor for several months, and
If the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict
he should have been given larger
amount. The courts had repeatedly
held that ifa jury gives excessive
damages the amount may be reduced
by "renittur" to such Il sum as shall
seem to the court AS reasonable, rather
than accept the alternative of n new
trial
"lf,' continued the court, uthe
amount may be reduced Ivy 'remittut'
Ia proper snm, it may also, by anoio-
gous practice, be increased to proper
amount by 'increscitur.' In the pres
cnt case, on this principle, the court
gives the defendant company the al
tentative of paying $500 instead OF 800,
or Standing new trial. - MSSo,Oi
